Can't seem to click and drag on Mac (by LoganDark)
When I run SolveSpace on Windows, I'm able to click and drag to move objects around on the canvas just fine. But when I run SolveSpace on macOS, I'm not able to click and drag properly; while I'm dragging nothing will move, and then once I release, the object will move a tiny amount.

Mouse or trackpad?

click and drag problem (by Stefan)
This problem started with macOS Tahoe.
I don't know why, but Solvespace 3.0 don't have this issue. I'm using that until a fix come along.

I'm having the same problem with Tahoe + 3.1 stable on an M1 Pro

GL: 2.1 Metal - 90.5

Haven't been able to find any system logs/activity monitor hangups to point towards a thread to pull on just yet.

There is an open issue for this on github here:

https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/1625

Definitely a help wanted situation, since we have very few developers and fewer for macOS. I wanted to have version 3.2 final out by year end and now this comes up.

For any developers wanting to take a look, the entirety of Mac code is in one file called guimac.cpp or similar in the platform folder under src.
